General description

2,4′-Dichloroacetophenone is a substituted α-chloro aromatic ketone.2 Its 35/37Cl WURST-QCPMG NMR spectra has been investigated.

Application

2,4′-Dichloroacetophenone (4-chlorophenacyl chloride) may be used in the synthesis of chiral chlorohydrin by asymmetric reduction., It may be used as an alkylating agent in the Williamson reaction of 7-hydroxycoumarins to form substituted oxoethers.
